DUTCH 
This year, we are listing two sizes of 
bulbs, large and medium. For outside and 
for cold glass, medium will give splendid 
results in most cases. Generally, they 
will flower nearly as well as the large, 
but the difference, of course, will be 
noticeable if the growing conditions are 
unfavorable. The large bulbs will stand 
a little more abuse. Please note, how¬ 
ever, that Golden Bronze and Golden 
Lion are of a different type (Span¬ 
ish) and the bulbs are not as large 
as those of the others. Wedgewood 
grades two sizes larger than the rest al¬ 
though the results will be the same. The 
Dutch iris are unsurpassed as cut flowers. 
GOLDEN LION 
as they keep from ten to fourteen days 
and their hardiness and wide color range 
have made them most popular for garden 
purposes. The varieties we are offering 
are the best of the world famous DeGraff 
hybrids, and are a distinct improvement 
over the other Dutch and Spanish iris 
commonly sold. As with the bearded iris, 
we send out only the finest stock. Each 
variety will be labeled unless specified 
otherwise. Planting season for Dutch 
iris is from September 15 to November 
15. Dutch iris are grown from small 
bulbs, and have long, wiry stems. They 
can be planted in very small space, and 
are most easily grown, and require little 
care. The are hardy except in the ex¬ 
tremely cold sections of the country, 
where they should have a good mulch of 
salt hay or tree boughs during the winter.
